Don’t give pets as Christmas presents unless you’re damned sure that the person you’re giving them to is ready, willing, and able to care for a pet. Or if you have to, give them fish, because nobody really cares if fish die.

The mandatory minimum sentence these three dumb guys face is seven years, and that’s just for the Federal charges. There’s still the state charges in four counties, which include cruelty to animals for killing a cow. I wonder if the DA in Bibb County, who brought the cow case, refuses to eat cheeseburgers. I kinda doubt it. At any event, once the Feds are done with them they’ll have to do state time.
